Abstract
The present investigation deals with the effect of substrate orientation effect on the growth of thermally oxidized Ge. The thermal oxidation was performed at temperature between 375 and 550°C in dry oxygen ambient under atmospheric pressure. The thickness of thermally oxidized Ge films was measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry and the chemical bonding structures were characterized by using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). No orientation dependence was observed for the oxidation at temperature of 375°C while for oxidation at 490 and 550°C, Ge oxidation and GeO desorption rate of (100) orientation yield higher rate than (111). The larger atomic space of (100) orientation explains the higher oxidation and desorption rate at Ge surface.
